Responsibilities:Failure Analysis & Root Cause Investigation
- Identify failure modes, determine root causes, and document contributing factors.
- Correlate failures with design, process, and material data to support engineering improvements.
- Perform electrical, mechanical, and thermal failure analysis on production defects, field returns, and reliability test samples.
- Use diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, logic analyzers, X‑ray, SEM/EDS, FIB, decapsulation, and cross‑sectioning.
- Track recurring failure modes, reliability trends, MTBF, and failure rates.
- Present analysis results to engineering, manufacturing, quality, and customer teams.
- Prepare detailed FA reports including findings, corrective actions, and risk assessments.
- Support component validation and incoming inspection activities.
- Coordinate with customer support teams on field failure investigations.
- Partner with manufacturing, quality, R&D, and supplier quality teams to drive CAPA.
- Contribute to SOPs, process control documentation, and reliability standards.
- Participate in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Reliability (DfR) reviews.
